About this map

The Kuzitrin River meanders across this portion of the Seward Peninsula, defining a landscape of intricate hydrological patterns and expansive lowlands. In the northeastern corner, the Kuzitrin Flats represent a significant alluvial feature where the river's path becomes particularly serpentine. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the remote drainage systems of the Nome Census Area, highlighting the confluence of several tributaries.

Several smaller waterways, including Delome Cr, Garfield Cr, and Birch Cr, feed into the primary river system from the surrounding highlands. To the south, Belt Creek drains through a distinct valley, illustrating the transition from the flat river basin to the more elevated interior terrain. The map provides a precise look at the Public Land Survey System township and range lines, such as t2s r28w, which organize this largely uninhabited wilderness.
